Remark
- Due to different Linux support condition provided by chipset vendors, please download Linux driver from chipset vendors' website or 3rd party website.
- Most hardware/software vendors may no longer offer drivers to support Win9X/ME/2000/XP SP1/SP2. If drivers are available from the vendors, we will update them on the GIGABYTE website.

Please do not forget to check with our site as often as possible in order to stay updated on the latest drivers, software and games.

Note: Try to set a system restore point before installing a device driver. It will help you restore system if installed driver not complete.
